Beauty, I'm in the 45.5mm model, but may get the 42mm too.

Shame your bezel is stuck with superglue, I was about to suggest the dental floss trick to tighten it.

This^^ I wondered too.

I have the app now, but not used it yet, I will try and do something with it later today.

Beautiful. Looking forward to my TC LV. Great first post btw. Welcome aboard

Yes.

Thanks for that, I now understand what it means I have even found some Broaching tools Just an example below.. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Set-of-6-Cutting-Broaches-0-8-2-3-mm-Clocks-Watches-Repair-Tools-Parts-Service-/271161081248?pt=UK_Clocks&hash=item3f2275bda0

So let me get this straight so I'm on the same page re broaching the hands. Is this another term for putting the watch in hacking position, crown pulled? Sorry for the questions, I'm keen to learn, and it's the first time I have seen/heard the term Broaching the hands mentioned.

Thanks for that 1680, learning more every day

Whats broach the hands mean?

That makes no sense at all to me, try again lol

Got a reply from Tina of the watch I asked about, and a photo of said watch. Now remember, this is the watch below I asked for photos of.. Here's the email, and photo I got Dear Customer, Sorry for the late reply, now this item we just have the similar one. pls see the attached pic for your reference. Is it ok for you? Thanks. Small low res photo of a shitty rep Avoid people, this was an exercise to protect you

Don't use superglue!

This is on my list but in blue. Lovely rep.

Yup, AR seems to be much better on the newer ones. I noticed the sub-dial hand @6, I will in time correct that as I will be putting in an order for the tool kit, and other gear from the RWG shop soon. I forgot to mention too about another flaw/tell, and thats the day/date font. Again, this does not bother me, but being the perfectionist I am, I will no doubt correct all the flaws, then I will be smiling like a cheshire cat

Hi guys, as some may of already read in the link below, I received my Tag Heuer Carrera Chrono today from Trevor, and promised in that thread I would post some eye candy of the watch, and share with you my impressions of this timepiece.. For those who have yet to read it, here's the TD Review of my buying experience from Trevor. The watch came very well packaged, and 11 days from payment to wrist. http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/157299-first-purchase-from-trevor-and-delighted-with-my-watch/ Onto the watch. This is the Tag Heuer Carrera Chronograph Automatic rep with sec@9, and fully functional chronograph. It's the plain black dial model, with black bezel, stainless steel bracelet, and see-thru case back. I was already well informed on the flaws of this rep (thanks to the many of you who have shared their experiences with this model, and reviews of it), and I have to say, although knowing of them did not put me off my purchase at all, as I really loved the look of this rep. Kind of reminded me on an old Swatch I had many moons ago, but better Upon receiving the watch, it had all its protective covering on, the bracelet, dial, bezel, and back case all were protected. My first impressions of opening the package was wow, just wow, what a beautiful watch, it reaps of quality, weight solid feel, and certainly has prescence on the wrist. Talking of which, the bracelet needs a link removing as it wears a little loose for my liking, so if anyone would like to share on a good pin removal tool, that would be great. In case you are unaware of the flaws/tells of this model Tag, they are as follows.. 1. The letter G of the name TAG on the dial above the day/date window is missing it's pointy arrows that the gen has. 2. Blue screws in the movement are visible through the case back window. Gen are silver screws. 3. The rotor of the movement has the incorrect amount of bevels engraved, two or three less than gen. 4. The red paint used on the tips of the chronograph big hand, and the smaller hands of the 6&9 sub-dials are a darker red colour than gen, the gen is more of a bright blood red. Given the above flaws/tells, as said earlier, these alone did not put me off buying this rep, its stunning in the flesh, and my photos below simpley don't do it justice. The bracelet, and clasp are of great, solid quality, with a positive click fasten and unfasten of it's clasp. Good engravings. Anyway, I have a bad habit of rambling on, especially about something I have passion for, and that is watches. Ok ok, I hear ya! Onto the eye candy. I tried to capture this watch as well as I could for you all, sorry about the smudges etc, enjoy, and thanks for reading/looking.

Indeed, I will post here what reply I get

Wow! Thanks for posting these, we all love eye candy my friend. Studying your watches now

Great post, and great to read that we have something in common. When I lived in the UK, I used to restore classic cars. Had four I had to let go when I moved to Finland, broke my heart, but all went to good homes, and two of the new owners flew in from other parts of Europe to then drive them home

Ok, FYI, I have had another email from Tina from the OP's link, and she tells me the watch is in stock, and that I can order via their shop now. Now of course, I am not planning on buying, but carrying out an experiment to prove, or disprove that this site is a scam site. I have emailed back asking for photos of the actual watch I will be buying (not buying . Lets see what happens.

Look at that pearl, looks great, for $35 you did bloody well my friend.

Yes, its the existing preorder, for the old TYPE1

Great tut! Now just to find some files for the Submariner LV to print
